undefined reference errors when I add boost log dependecies

Question

I am trying to add boost logging functionality.

But I've got a lot of errors with undefined reference.

collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

My linked libraries looks like this.

My include declarations looks like this

Also my boost include folder is located in main x86_64-w64-mingw32 include folder

Answer 1

Had the same error under Windows 10, Cygwin GCC setup. I had to link boost_thread separately in addition to boost_log and boost_log_setup.

-lboost_log_setup -lboost_log -lboost_thread

I was using BOOST 1.66.
